16' Allusion Tunnel
« on: January 25, 2008, 10:42:05 AM »
We have always been facinated with Small Jet boats ,after talking to Undone this week regarding some recent events in the Jet boat world . I've decided to post up this "project" from early 2001. We ,JBP had a close relationship for several years and Aggressor Jets & Dave gave us the opportunity to buy one  of a limited quantity of small tunnel hull boats He was producing at that time .
 This was literally a Bare Hull,nothing but fiberglass! It came shipped to us on a pallet "atop" what later became Joshs 16' Beezer and trailer. I don't remember all the details but the boat design bottom was similar to a small daytona and the top I belive Dave used to call it a "Family deck". Several folks had and rigged these little boat I belive including maybe Tom Papp and Jim @ Cyclone Marine. It was a great fun project for us the boat ran 80 with the second motor. I originally rigged it with a ZZ4 350 crate motor then when Josh decided to go SB Ford I swapped out for his Dual carb "double throw down" 350 cu aluminum head motor from the Beezer More pics and info to follow  Tom

note : the Nor cal guy that bought this boat from me swapped the sbc fo a big Mopar wedge with a "blow thru" supercharger and reportedly runs over 100 at CFW (scarey  ???)

I believe that was also the first and last time I wore a wife beater in public.  And yet another embarassing moment(quoting a country song), but "I'm much too young to feel this damn old".  Those pictures feel ancient

In the same boat with you Josh... Feel the same way all the time, especially with all the arthritis, torn ligaments/tendons, compacted disks in my neck goes on and on. Can't wait to see more of that little sucker. Hopefully things work out and you'll be seeing another one on the water.

That would be nice, I'd really like to see that Bezer in person. Depending on what happens down this way maybe that will happen sooner than Parker. ;D

I like it! Tom if it's not too top secret what is that you painted the bottom of that boat with, or did it just clean up that good ? Wow either way! BTW is that crate a drop in, or did you have to "loosen" her up a bit?

So you really didn't do anything crazy with the pump or anything huh? From what I'm seeing the potential with that hull is incredible. Hopefully all works well... You've got me really excited now. As for the guys who want one of these. There just might be hope.
